Question: Please help me solve part a - c thank you! Develop the system curve for the system presented below. Solve the conservation of energy equation

Please help me solve part a-c thank you!
Develop the system curve for the system presented below. Solve the conservation of energy equation for the head added ) using the lower reservoir as your first reference point and the upper reservoir as your second reference point. Do not account for minor losses in the system curve. (Note see the specifics below)
Your result will have the following format: hP=+Q2
a. Develop the system curve for the system represented in the Figure by solve the conservation of energy equation for the head added ( hP ) using the lower reservoir as your first reference point and the upper reservoir as your second reference point. Neglect minor losses using the Darcy Equation.
b. For the system shown in the Figure compute the system curve using the Hazen-William Equation. Assume that the C value for the suction and discharge pipelines is 120 for both. Keep the length and diameter the same and neglect minor losses once again.
c. Create a graph comparing the system curves created using the Darcy-Weisbach and Hazen-Williams approaches. Show both lines on one graph (as opposed to created two separate graphs).
